Crying Brothers: The Little Sister We Hate Is Actually a Bigshot-Chapter 18
Chapter 18
Meanwhile, at the Ji family…
“Jingjing is gone?!” Ji Ming was shocked.
Unfortunately, before Ji Jing returned home, Ji Ming discovered that she was missing.
“Wangcai is gone too!” Ji Ming anxiously shouted, “Is she unhappy with our family and ran away?”
During breakfast, Ji Ming had knocked on Ji Jing’s door upstairs, but there was no response. He thought it was because young people often wake up late and didn’t pay much attention to it. When it was almost lunchtime and Ji Jing still hadn’t appeared, Ji Ming realized that something was wrong.
Ji Ling had already gone to work, and the other members of the Ji family gathered in the living room one after another after hearing Ji Ming looking for someone.
“Is it because I didn’t come to see her yesterday, and she felt hurt?” Yun Yue felt a little guilty, but yesterday she had been taking care of Yao Yao. Whenever she had a little free time, Yao Yao’s condition would worsen, and she really couldn’t spare any time.
After Ji Yao was discharged from the hospital and went home, Yun Yue was too tired and wanted to rest for a while, but ended up falling into a deep sleep.
“That’s too petty,” Ji Ying complained.
He had only slept at two in the morning last night, and was now very impatient after being woken up by Ji Ming asking if he had seen Ji Jing.
“Where’s the generosity in that!” Ji Ming was distressed at the thought that Ji Jing had left home because she felt neglected by the family.
But he couldn’t blame his wife, so he reassured Yun Yue, “It shouldn’t be. Jingjing must be able to understand you.”
Ji Ming then turned to Ji Yi and asked, “Did you say anything to make her unhappy when you sent Jingjing upstairs last night?”
Ji Yi remembered arguing with Ji Jing last night and felt a little guilty, but didn’t think she had done anything wrong. “I didn’t! She’s just too sensitive. Who knows what’s on her mind!”
Ji Hui interrupted, “Dad, don’t treat us like suspects. Maybe she just went out on her own.”
Ji Ying agreed, “Yeah, Dad, she’s already seventeen. Maybe she just went out to meet some boyfriend.”
Ji Ming quickly rebuked, “What are you saying? How can you speculate about your sister like that?”
Ji Ying rolled his eyes, Ji Jing was only his nominal sister.
Ji Ming looked at his sons’ indifference and felt very sad, “Jingjing is your sister, and now she’s missing, but you’re not worried at all? Do you not consider her as family?”
Ji Ying was completely impatient and wanted to say that he and Ji Jing were never a family to begin with!
Ji Yao also heard the noise from the living room and came downstairs.
Her condition seemed to have improved somewhat. She was no longer weak all over, but her complexion was still a bit pale.
As she descended the stairs, she heard Ji Ming’s words and hurriedly took a few steps forward to comfort him, “Dad, don’t be angry. Don’t make yourself sick. How could your brothers not care about Jingjing? Maybe Jingjing had some urgent matter and left without telling you?”
Ji Ming sighed, “If there is something urgent, she will leave without saying goodbye?”
Ji Hui couldn’t bear to watch any longer, so he took a thin blanket and draped it over Ji Yao’s shoulders. “Dad, that’s enough. It’s true that Ji Jing is your biological daughter, but isn’t Ji Yao your daughter too? You’ve only been concerned about Jing Jing these past few days, but when Yao Yao was sick, did you show any concern for her?”
Ji Ming was speechless, but he had visited Ji Yao in the hospital yesterday morning, although he didn’t stay with her for long.
Ji Yao looked at her brother in confusion and quickly said, waving her hand, “I’m fine, cough…I just had a fever, but it went down just now. It’s more important to find Jing Jing sister first.”
When Yun Yue saw her daughter so weak, her face showed deep concern as she walked over and embraced her.
In the end, she believed Ji Yao’s words, “Perhaps Jing Jing really did have something urgent to attend to and went out. This child, she didn’t even say anything.”
Yun Yue also said to Ji Ming, “Alright, Ji Ming, don’t worry too much. Let Xiao Ying go find her, it should be fine. She’s grown up now.”
Ji Ying was summoned to find someone and he rolled his eyes in annoyance before leaning back on the couch. “Tsk.”
Yun Yue glared at him, gesturing for him to calm down.
Ji Ming looked at the expressions of his wife and children and suddenly had an absurd thought. Was he the only one who cared about Ji Jing in this family?
It was true that Ji Yao was their cherished daughter, but why did their sons all reject Ji Jing, fearing that she would harm Ji Yao?
Would the two daughters really fight each other? But the sons were getting along very well.
Ji Ming didn’t have time to think it through before the door of the villa suddenly opened.
It was the butler who opened the door.
And it was Ji Jing who followed behind him.
